Any phenomenon in nature is potential to be an inspiration for us to propose new ideas.
Lateral line is a typical example which has attracted more interest in recent years. With the …

Lateral line is a system of sense organs that can aid fishes to maneuver in a dark
environment. Artificial lateral line (ALL) imitates the structure of lateral line in fishes and …

Collective behaviour defines the lives of many animal species on the Earth. Underwater
swarms span several orders of magnitude in size, from coral larvae and krill to tunas and …

This paper describes flow-relative and flow-aided navigation of a biomimetic underwater
vehicle using an artificial lateral line for flow sensing. Most of the aquatic animals have flow …

A major difference between manmade underwater robotic vehicles (URVs) and undersea
animals is the dense arrays of sensors on the body of the latter which enable them to …

Sensor morphology, the morphology of a sensing mechanism which plays a role of shaping
the desired response from physical stimuli from surroundings to generate signals usable as …

Velocity estimation is central for the reliable navigation of autonomous underwater vehicles
(AUVs). Doppler velocity logs (DVLs), currently the leading technology for underwater …

The lateral line organs of fish present a promising idea for achieving near-field target
awareness. Inspired by the localization of targets by fish, a neural network approach to …

Freshwater ecosystems are inhabited by a vast spectrum of organisms, each with their own
complex biotic–abiotic relations. Considering the management and conservation of these …

To reduce human risk and maintenance costs, Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs)
are involved in subsea inspections and measurements for a wide range of marine industries …
